Sakura began to sing. She was no longer a ninja, but a singer. She'd sing at the same old bar, on the same old nights, wishing that she'd see Him in the corner again. He would always sit in the corner and watch her sing. But, that was when He was alive.
As Sakura sang the words to His favorite song, memories of the night He died came back to her.
It was the perfect night for a mission. He and Sakura were on a dangerous mission that night. Everything was going smoothly, until an alarm had been triggered. They fell right into a trap. A trap only one would leave alive. They fought off many enemies, but they began to grow weary and soon they had little strength in which to fight with. "Don't give up! We can do this!" He cried, taking down another enemy. Sakura nodded and kept fighting. She heard a cry of pain and shock and looked over her shoulder to see Him fall to the ground, dead. She gasped. She quickly took care of who she was fighting and rushed to His side. "No!" Sakura began to cry. The attackers began to close in. One raised their kunai knife high above their head to kill Sakura, but they and all the others were knocked down by an attack from a mysterious ninja. "Go! Now!" They cried to Sakura. Sakura got up and ran as fast as she could. "It's up to you and me now, kid." the mysterious ninja said to his masked partner. Sakura ran deep into the surrounding forest, never stopping, never looking back. She suddenly tripped, and fell to the ground. She slowly got up, tears streaming down her face. She cried and muttered to herself for hours, until she fell asleep.
She finished the song with tears in her eyes. She looked into the corner He always sat in. She saw His ghost, smiling at her. And in the blink of an eye, it vanished. She smiled as a single tear made it's way down her cheek.
